"Tony is not her father, she doesn't have one," Abby said looking to Ziva.

The face she saw there was the old Ziva, the one she had fallen in love with, it made Abby smile slightly.

"Abby, do you want me to go and get the baby bag now that the cat is out of the bag?" he asked causing Abby to look away from Ziva.

"Might as well," Abby said standing up with her daughter in her arms.

Tali dropped Bert and started whining and making grabbing motions towards the fallen stuffed hippo.

Abby was about to bend over to retrieve the farting hippo when Ziva grabbed it before standing up and handing it to the toddler.

Tali took the hippo in her arms and hugged him tightly causing him to let out farting sounds and making the toddler laugh.

Ziva smiled at the sound of the laughter that came from the small child in Abby's arms, she had a sweet laugh, one that let you know she had no worries and that she was loved.

"Okay I'll be right back," Tony said with a knowing sparkle in his eyes as he looked at Abby's slightly sad ones.

"Okay," Abby said walking away from Ziva and over to computer.

Both women waited until the elevator doors closed to even move.

"Hello Abby," Ziva said walking up to Abby's side, she placed her hand on the table and leaned on that arm just as she had the last time she saw Abby.

"Hello officer David," Abby said coldly without looking at the woman.

"Abby please," Ziva said in a desperate voice.

Abby looked at Ziva out of the corner of her eye before looking back to her computer and turning it on.

"Mommy," Tali said grasping her mother's attention.

"Yes baby," Abby said answering her daughter's call.

Tali said nothing, but pointed toward the ground with the hand that wasn't holding Bert.

"Okay," Abby said sitting her daughter on the ground before standing back up and looking to the compute once more.

Abby placed both of her hands on the metal table that so long ago Ziva had her backed up into because of fear.

"Abby," Ziva said threading her finger's through one of Abby's hands from the back of her hand.

"What," Abby said cruelly finally turning to the woman.

"I am sorry," Ziva said bringing Abby's hand up to her face and kissing the palm of it before pressing it to her cheek.

"For what?" Abby said with fire burning in her heart and in her eyes as she ripped her hand away from Ziva's face and out of her grasp.

"For what I said to you before I left, it was uncalled for, I should not have said any of those things, none of those things I mentioned where your, nor did you need to grow up, although I can see I am too late to tell you that last one," Ziva said glancing at Tali.

"You are not too late, I didn't have Tali so that I would grow up, I had her, because I wanted someone's baby," Abby said backing up slightly and going around her daughter.

"And don't you dare say sorry I know you don't mean it," Abby continued as she started to back up farther due to Ziva walking toward her.

Tali watched as her mother backed away from this strange new woman, the woman seemed to pose no threat, yet her mother was backing away.

"Abby, I do mean it, I am sorry Abby, please you have to believe me," Ziva said walking toward the woman with her hands raised as if she was walking toward a frightened animal.

"Shut up," Abby said as her back met the wall.

"Just shut up," Abby said turning her head away and clenching her eyes shut.

"Abby please," Ziva begged as she got closer until she stood directly in front of the hysterical woman.

"No, I know you don't mean it, you can't your not you, you are a shell of you, you are not the old Ziva," Abby cried as she started to try and push the woman away from her.

Ziva grabbed Abby's hands to stop her and pulled Abby close when the woman burst into tears.

"Shhh, I was a shell, I was hurting and I took it out on you, I was wrong to do that to someone who means so much to me," Ziva said holding Abby close as the woman started to cry into her shoulder.

Abby's knees gave out as she cried and Ziva gracefully turned them around and fell to the ground with Abby before pulling the crying woman into her lap.

"I am sorry," Ziva cooed as she kissed Abby's forehead.

"I truly am," Ziva continued as she held Abby close.

Ziva continued too coo to Abby just as Abby had done so many times for her daughter.

Tali released Burt and stood up on her wobbly legs the best she could, she had never walked before, but her mommy needed her.

Abby was suddenly compelled to look up by something deep inside her, she looked up to see her daughter take her first clumsy step, Abby gasped and it caused Ziva too look up as well.

Both mothers watched as Tali made her way quickly over to them, one of them knowing she was her mother, the other unknowing.

"Mommy," Tali squealed with delight as she fell face first into her mother's stomach.

"Tali, you just walked," Abby said with joy as she picked her daughter up and placing her on her stomach.

Ziva was now holding Abby bridal style in her lap while Abby had her daughter sitting on her lower stomach.

"That's her name? Tali?" Ziva asked the mother who was now crying with joy.

"Yes," Abby said pulling her daughter close.

The elevator doors opened to reveal Tony with the baby bag, the first thin he saw was Abby crying in Ziva's lap with Tali held tightly to her.

"What did you do!" he yelled dropping the baby bag and running across the lab.

Ziva stood up with the two girls in her arms and quickly place Abby and Tali behind her. Ziva didn't hear the words he said, she didn't understand that he was only trying to protect the same two girls she was trying to protect, she had turned the sensible part of her brain off, now she was thinking like the woman who had yelled those horrible things at Abby, now she was only an officer of Mossad, now she only recognized Tony as a threat so she quickly got into a protective stance in front of the woman and her frightened child.

Abby quickly realized that she had to do something as the officer and special agent started to fight, she ran to the back of the room and placed Tali on the futon, she turned around to see Tony on top of Ziva with his hands around her throat, neither of them understood that they were fighting for the same thing.

Abby ran over and wrapped her arms around Tony's neck and started to pull, Tony lifted his arm to hit Ziva and his elbow hit Abby's face hard enough to make her recoil and she hit the ground behind her with a loud smack.

The smack caused Tony and Ziva to stop fighting and look over at where Abby now lay unmoving.

"Mommy," Tali cried out as she climbed down from the futon and ran clumsily to her mother.

Ziva pushed Tony off of her and quickly moved to crouch down next to Abby.

"Abby," she whispered moving the woman's hair out of her face.

Abby still had her eyes closed and she still hadn't moved.

"Call Ducky," Ziva ordered without looking away from the unconscious Abby.

Tony did as was ordered and hurried to the phone.

"I think she is coming back to us," Ducky whispered.

"Why are we whispering?" Tony whispered in return.

"Because she has a small concussion from both the impact of her arm and the smack of her head on the hard floor," Ducky whispered in frustration.

Abby let out a groan at the headache all the voices were giving her, she could only hear two, but yet, only one voice was too much.

Abby gripped her head and curled up into a ball on her side.

"Abigail?" Ziva whispered quietly so that only Abby could hear and touching her arm gently.

Abby opened one eye slightly to see Ziva's face the Ziva that she loved so dearly, the Ziva that was Tali's mother.

"Are you alright?" Ziva whispered in the same way as she got down on her knees so that she could look directly into her face.
